Brighton Carpenter Oak Staircase

Do you remember that Grand Designs episode where the woodsman built his own house using the materials he gathered from his local woods? Well, he now designs and builds traditional A frame buildings for private clients. I had the pleasure of working with him on a house in Henfield, just outside Brighton.

Amongst other work I carried out for him was a solid oak staircase. I was asked to design something that complimented the traditional building techniques used in the rest of the property. It was quite tricky fitting a staircase, handrails and spindles into a building full of curves and angles but we managed to make a good job of it in the end.
